The DATAKOM model DKG-151 is a low cost, microprocessor controlled unit designed to start and stop the genset manually using the key switch and pushbuttons on the front panel. It has high power relay outputs enabling it to interface directly with diesel gensets.

When the engine is running, the unit monitors fault conditions and shuts-down the engine automatically in the occurrence of an alarm.

In the OFF position, the DC supply is removed from the module, thus zero power consumption is achieved.

When the engine is running, the unit monitors fault conditions and shuts-down the engine automatically in the occurrence of an alarm. The alarms are identified by a group of LEDs displaying only the first occurring one.

The occurrence of below fault conditions will cause the engine to be stopped immediately: overspeed, underspeed, high engine temperature, low of pressure, Auxiliary shutdown.

The limits for the correct generator frequency are 25 to 57 Hz for 50Hz operation and, 25 to 68 Hz for 60Hz operation. The unit uses high current two part connectors for easy replacement.

The DKG-151 is also able to control ‘Energize to Stop’ type of engines. The engine type selection is made by a jumper switch.
